The Golden Army
Posted By Ardellis on August 4, 2008
Saw Hellboy II yesterday. I’m always ready for a sequel to be a lesser movie than the original, but this one was a pleasant surprise. Fun and cheesy. And they gave Abe Sapien a bigger part, which was very nice.
And Luke Goss as Prince Nuada? Beautiful. Deadly. Graceful. Really amazing to watch. The fight choreographers did a stunning job.
There were plot points that I think ought to have gone in a different direction. Potential in the character of Princess Nuala, for instance, that was never realized. But overall a fun film.
And now I get to spend the day trying to scrub Barry Manilow out of my brain.
Yeah, that Barry Manilow just gets stuck in your skull….
On opening night, the whole crowd was standing up, swaying back and forth, singing along as the credits rolled….
All together now:
I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh, and I can’t sing
I’m finding it…
